Since Brandon Roy knows he can’t go back, he’s trying his best to look forward. Two days after admitting that he was on the brink of tears due to his limited role in Tuesday’s Game 2 loss to the Mavericks, and that he “always thought I’d be treated a little better,” the Trail Blazers shooting […]

The Tuesday mailbag is officially blowing up. Not only did we match last week’s total with three questions, but they came from three different people! Two weeks from going global, I say. Thanks to everyone who submitted a question. Let’s get to it. Matt, What weakness of the Blazers do you see most being exploited […]

The Portland Trail Blazers announced today that they have signed center Earl Barron for the rest of the season. The 29-year-old has played parts of five seasons with Miami(2005-08), New York (2009-10), Phoenix (2010-11) and Milwaukee (2010-11), averaging 5.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game over that span. The 7-foot Memphis product averaged 3.8 points […]

As a result, it’s possible that only three questions were emailed to me, and even more possible that two of them came from the same person. But hey, I figure working with […]

PORTLAND — Rudy Fernandez tipped Shawn Marion’s errant pass, skedaddled to save it from going out of bounds, then tossed it to Gerald Wallace for a lay-up while three Mavericks stood motionless. Probably reflective of Dallas’ mindset at that point: If Portland is playing that well, why even try? In winning their eighth consecutive game […]

The stat line was impressive: 24 points, 15 rebounds, 11 of 19 from the field. But was LaMarcus Aldridge playing like a true post player Wednesday vs. the Hornets? Most of the points, after all, came on jumpers, and “why isn’t he going inside?” was a common question. Aldridge wasn’t too thrilled with that. “I […]
